Who knows Russian?

This word: Меховое
I can find no meaning for it but "fur" but in context it can't mean that.

What else can it mean? The video translates to "Farewell to Fur" but it appears to be about folk traditions in a Russian village, mostly music, and there is no fur hunting and no fur processing in it anywhere. One section is called "fur-horn" and the fellow makes and plays a musical instrument from a hollowed stem and a cow horn.

On another front, I spent too many hours today exploring seapunk and now I am sad.

As far as I can tell "Меховой" really means "(something to do with) fur" (Мех is fur). As far as I can tell "Прощание с Меховым" is a film about that little village. Could be that fur-handling used to be a major trade, or something.

It's not clear to me how much of that film is present in that collection, and I don't see easily which bits are from the film, and which are other things.

Edit: Or it could have to do with somebody connected to furs dying.

(What I'm trying to say, I suppose, is that I don't see any reason to exclude "fur" as a meaning)

I keep thinking that, and then I keep going back and thinking it must mean something else. Thanks for your thoughts on it.
